ABSTRACT

A steel cord for reinforcing rubber products such as truck tyres comprises a plurality of steel wires twisted together to form a multiwire layered cable construction having two or more successive wire layers around a common core. The wires of the outer layer are covered by a rubber adherable coating of e.g. brass and the wires (shaded) of the layer inwardly adjacent the surface layer are covered by a corrosion resistant coating, such as zinc or a zinc alloy.
